More re three mummies to be scanned by UWO
The London Free Press
Covered in protective gauze and wrapped in layers of ancient bandages, the lives of three mummies that arrived yesterday at UWO are shrouded in mystery. But hopefully not for long. The unusual guests, who may have lived as long as three thousand years ago, are soon to undergo CT scans here that researchers hope will unlock some of the mystery -- without removing a single bandage. "The objective is to find out as much as we can about these mummies without being destructive," said Andrew Nelson, a UWO anthropologist and research associate at the Royal Ontario Museum, which loaned the mummies for testing.
In coming months, the UWO-lead research team will perform CT scans on the mummies -- two infants and one adult -- with hopes they'll reveal telling details about their lives, he said.
The UWO is the University of Western Ontario, U.S.. See the above page for more. There is a rather furry photograph of one of the mummies.
